UAE Visa for Sri Lankan Passport Holders

TL;DR

We help Sri Lankan passport holders get a UAE Sharjah visa quickly and reliably. The visa is a 60 day single entry visa priced at AED 1,200, with no security deposit required. Sri Lankan passport holders are not currently eligible for a UAE visa on arrival and must apply in advance. You will need a passport valid for at least six months, a recent photo, hotel or accommodation proof and a return flight ticket. If you are a UAE resident booking this visa for your own family member or friend, you can pay with Tabby, Tamara or a UAE credit card over up to 12 months. Other applicants are sent a secure online payment link.

Do Sri Lankan Citizens Need a Visa for the UAE?

Yes. Sri Lankan passport holders need a visa to enter the UAE and must apply in advance through an authorized visa processing center or a travel agency such as White Sky Travel. Sri Lanka is not currently on the list of nationalities eligible for UAE visa on arrival, so travellers should not expect to receive one at the airport without a pre-approved visa.

Sharjah Visa for Sri Lankan Citizens

For Sri Lankan travellers, we offer the Sharjah visa, a 60 day single entry visa priced at AED 1,200 with no security deposit required. The visa allows entry through Sharjah International Airport and covers your stay across the UAE for up to 60 days from your date of entry.

Documents Required for Sri Lankan Citizens

• Sri Lankan passport valid for at least six months from your date of entry, with at least two blank pages
• A recent passport size photograph with a white background
• Hotel booking confirmation or accommodation proof
• A confirmed return or onward flight ticket
• A birth certificate for applicants travelling as minors

You will not be asked for a bank statement to apply for the visa itself. UAE immigration officers can, at their discretion, ask arriving travellers to show proof of funds on arrival, so it is worth carrying a recent bank statement or equivalent with you when you travel, even though it is not part of the application we submit for you.

How to Apply for a UAE Visa from Sri Lanka

2. We prepare your application and submit it on your behalf
3. Pay securely. If you are a UAE resident booking this visa for your own family member or friend, you can pay with Tabby, Tamara or a UAE credit card spread over up to 12 months. Other applicants are sent a secure online payment link
4. Track your application status with our team while it is being processed
5. Receive your approved visa by email, ready to travel

Visa Processing Time

Most Sharjah visa applications for Sri Lankan citizens are processed within 3 to 5 working days once all documents are submitted correctly. Incomplete documentation, an unclear photograph or mismatched passport details are the most common reasons an application takes longer than expected.

Visa Extension Options

A 60 day tourist visa can be extended twice, in 30 day increments, without needing to exit the UAE. To extend, you will need your original passport, a passport size photo, proof of accommodation and your return ticket. We can handle the extension application on your behalf so you do not need to visit an immigration office in person.

Once you have used up the maximum number of extensions, you will need to exit the UAE and re enter on a fresh visa. This can be done through an airport to airport visa change, commonly called A2A, or by taking one of the bus routes out of the country and back in, before applying again.
